Manchester United players are disappointed with Rangnick
By db-admin
DBasia.news – Manchester United interim manager, Ralf Rangnick is starting to lose control in the changing room. The Red Devils squad is now reportedly harboring disappointment towards him.
Rangnick’s Manchester United suffered their first defeat when they hosted Wolverhampton Wanderers in the 2021-2022 continued Premier League, Tuesday (4/1) morning WIB. At that time Cristiano Ronaldo and his team were defeated by a narrow score of 0-1.
Manchester United did appear subpar in this match. A number of basic mistakes were made by Cristiano Ronaldo and his team mates.
Unpleasant rumors then emerged regarding the situation in the Manchester United changing room. The players are reportedly starting to doubt Rangnick’s cold hand.
The poor performance against Wolves was the effect of the player’s declining confidence in Rangnick. They seem reluctant to carry out the tactics that have been prepared by the manager.
The rumors could be true. Rangnick reportedly has not provided clear tactics when having the ball and attacking.
“Chris Armas (Rangnick’s assistant) is in charge of training at Carrington and has been doing training to win the ball back. But sources say the players feel they need more direction on what to do with the ball,” a Manchester United insider told The Athletic.
Rangnick is known as a pioneer of Gegenpressing tactics. His approach is focused on grabbing the ball as quickly as possible from the opponent’s feet and then making a lightning attack.
The scheme does not seem to be understood by the majority of Manchester United players. They appeared confused when they had to dismantle the opposing team’s weaker defense and the Gegenpressing tactic didn’t work.
Rangnick should be aware of this problem. He must immediately give a clear idea when overpowering the opponent and attacking.
Manchester United’s closest match is hosting Aston Villa in the third round of the 2021-2022 FA Cup, Tuesday (11/1) morning WIB. The opponent candidate has the potential to create a shock as they had won at the last meeting at Old Trafford.
